In June of 2024, the City of Cedar Rapids hosted its annual Resident Appreciation Day at the Downtown Farmers’ Market in Greene Square. The “Box of Big Ideas” activity gave kids a chance to flex their creativity and share responses to a variety of prompts. The following pages display the full collection of submissions that were dropped into that box by our bright, young community members. Thank you for sharing!
